Recent Replies widget not showing new topics

I’m not sure if this is normal or a bug, but it’s really irritating. When someone creates a new topic, it isn’t shown in the widget, and that way it usually remains unseen and without any replies. Any fix around this?

The ‘Recent Topics’ widget has the option to show ‘New Topics’, ‘Popular Topics’ or ‘Topics with recent replies’

You can therefore use a combination of the two widgets to achieve what you are after…

This was by design… This can change…

A couple of the widgets have just been updated (see #1903) by @jaredatch and I suppose what you are asking is like how the ‘Recent Topics’ widget has the new/pop/recent options, could the ‘Recent Replies’ widget also include a checkbox to also include ‘Recent Topics with No Replies’?

If that is what you are asking then jump on over and create a new ticket explaining what ‘enhancment’ you would like in the widget/s and we will see how we go for a future release. https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/newticket
